Things that I love

Here are some of the things that I love, in no particular order:

1. Blowing in my daughters' faces makes both of them grin and laugh, now that their hair is long enough to feel the breeze.
2. Little Debbie Nutty Bars.
3. That my wife is so in tune with my mind that I often don't need to complete my sentences, or indeed even speak coherently. On more than one occasion, I have uttered something to the effect of "Get that thing and put it with the other thing," and not only did she understand what I meant, she was halfway to putting the thing with the other thing along side the the stuff and the other. Confused? Welcome to my world.
   
4. The fact that no matter what may be fretting my girls, a few words from me and a hug fixes nearly all of their problems. Daddy can fix it, sweetheart - it's what daddies do.
5. My new van. The thing's a tank, yet it's pretty good on gas, all things considered.
6. The low gas prices in Texas. I saw $1.99/gallon the other day.
7. My wife's sense of humor, which often dovetails neatly with my own.
8. My townhome. True, we're just renting, but it feels a lot better than renting an apartment. That, and one of the rooms has been designated my studio, which I am really jazzed about.
9. The fact that I get along with all of my in-laws. You often hear horror stories about the mother-in-law or father-in-law from hell, or the brother-in-law who is an idiot and/or shiftless. Nope, don't got none o' that. Now, I may be the idiot brother-in-law to my own BILs, but I doubt it.
10. Fireworks. My brother-in-law Dave introduced me to the wonder of setting off your own fireworks last summer, which I never did as a kid growing up in Southern California. Really looking forward to July 4th. We're gonna blow stuff up real good.

More to come...

Take care,
